And apparently, I give him "all-over creepy shivers, like someone just dumped a bag of live spiders over my naked thighs." I'm picturing chubby, pasty white thighs. No wonder he sympathizes with Bill Clinton so.

He riffs on what eggs mean to him. It's kind of wistful and sweet really. It sounds like the boy loves his mommy. Ooh, but not that way, no! He dips a little into homophobia territory... probably thinks it doesn't count when he does it. Oh, but it does! It does, T.

What an odd post. Why the excessive use of exclamation points and question marks? The speculation that Ann is a repressed lesbian is just bizarre, and also, obviously wrong. Ann is grossed out by eating egg salad, you moron! The idea of consuming the "female" symbol (as you've identified it) is abhorrent to her. If anything, that should prove that she's as hetero as they come.

As for the egg being a symbol for the female, I don't know where he got that one. I've always heard that eggs symbolize life, rebirth, springtime. I've never heard before that eggs are the symbol for the female, as if the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth is strictly feminine, or under the control of females.

Wait -- did TRex make this association because they're sort of round, like onion rings, completely ignoring centuries of tradition as to what eggs really symbolize? Sheesh.

I thought his posting was funny. Even funnier is realizing he gets Althouse, but doesn't recognize it. He thinks the Fellini reference an insult? Am I wrong that part of the appeal here is blog-as-performance-art?

Boring comments, though. Althouse wins as a blog salon. The mantle of Madame de Stael rests lightly on her shoulders.

ADDED: The new vlog is -- once you get into it a ways -- about the TRex attack.

I'm willing to donate $200 if I get to watch a YouTube clip of Althouse washing his face with Bamaboy-style egg salad. (Which, according to TRex's own sexual orientation calculus, might help him to determine for himself what his orientation really is. Here, I'll give him a free hint - Grown men who refer to women's breasts as "boobies" tend to have the sexual orientation best labeled "infantile.")

You really didn't need to add that edit, Ann. The thought of you symbolically mushing up a pair of testicles, mixing in some onion, etc, spreading it on some bread, and then eating it in great big bites washed down with red wine, is disturbing. Not "spiders on the thighs" disturbing, but disturbing nonetheless.

I find Bill Clinton and the onion rings far more appealing now. In fact, I need to get me some onion rings.

Well, in his comments section, Trex notes (comment #26) that he has "the countenance of a moldy carrot," and that seems a good rough description of both his skull and its contents. I mean, really - we're supposed to pay heed to what that idiot thinks?

He doesn't even do his research! What is the "??!!" assertion about the $200 bounty but a concession that he took no time to actually investigate the incident he's "reporting" - it's like writing a book review without having read it.

The theme of the piece/installation is two fold: one- the portrayal of the NYTimes of Midwest Farm Women and two- tits

In your next performance piece/installation you will be posing on all fours in a cornfield naked being milked by a farmer. The only thing you will do is MOO and chew your cud. The piece will be entitled "NYTIMES portrayal of midwestern farm women".

This will be an opportunity for us to get back at the NY Times who we hate and despise and who talk down to us and make us pose in corn fields.

No it won't play in NY but it will play in Peoria....Muncie, Lincoln, Superior, Topeka, Pierre, Jefferson City and many other 8th tier cities in this country and it will be huge.

Red Staters will have found their Angels in America and it will be this piece. Frequently during the performance piece you will need to lift your leg on the farmer to go peepee.

Do it girl, it will be amazing.

You will be in the Sears display window in Sioux Falls and the lines will be like the lines for David Blayne in NYC in his stupid ice cube.

"And believe me, I met Jessica’s boobies at YearlyKos. Even I could see that if any force on earth could provoke a sudden and debilitating attack of lesbianism, it would be they."

Really?Sorry, I mean Really??!!??!!Actually, instead of the Freudian analyzation of the egg, I would like to hear more about that. Or those.

I always thought I ate eggs cause they taste good. What does this say about scrambled eggs? Never mind, don't want to know.Oh, and his comment section reads like a ICQ string on a sat night when all the cool kids are out.

"No it won't play in NY but it will play in Peoria....Muncie, Lincoln, Superior, Topeka, Pierre, Jefferson City and many other 8th tier cities in this country and it will be huge.

Actually, this would be a big hit in NYC. In Peoria.....Muncie, Lincoln, Superior, Topeka, Pierre, Jefferson City and many other 8th tier cities have better things to do with their time. Granted, we would read about it and make a few remarks about those freaks in NYC, but then we would move on.

The ickiest thing in his post is seeing someone with obviously NO sense of humor trying to be funny. And the whole "I don't read that blog" thing is just LAME. It's like, "obviously you do, you boner, stop trying so hard to be cooler-than-thou"

Ann is a lot like a cat in one way, like the cat she doesn't like it when you make a big fuss over what she's going to eat.

You bring home this great new wet food for your cat. You make a big production about opening the can, dishing out the food, and presenting it to the cat. And what does the cat do? Walks away and studiously ignores you.

What are we seeing on this blog? We're seeing people making a huge fuss over Ann's ingestion of an egg salad sandwich. Althouse is having nothing to do with the dish. What do you do?

There's a clue in what cats do late at night, when they think everybody else is asleep. They go and eat the food they'd refused the day before. Cats will eat when you're not making a fuss about it. That's the secret, stop making such a fuss about Ann Althouse eating an egg salad sandwich, and she will eat an egg salad sandwich. Treat it as the most ordinary thing for a Madison WI law professor to do, and before you know it that egg salad sandwich will be consumed.

For our next miracle Ann Althouse will bath a cat. Preparatory blood donations now being taken.

Hhhmph. My mama taught me to eat egg salad sandwhiches some fifty-five+ years ago. All these years I thought it was because we had chickens so they were something we could afford. Now I discover there was something sexual about it. What did Mom mean? And what about the biscuits and sausage gravy? Oh noooo!

Althouse, thanks for not deleting my comments. As a native New Yorker I am glad your are coming here. You are a strong, brave woman that will add something to the city which is challenging because this city is full of opionins and jackasses and I believe you will fit in here very well.

I respect you madame althouse. You are a strong bitch, you will need to be to survive here. The bitches around here are evil and have seen everything-perhaps you will add something to their vocabulary.

Why does TRex talk like a "Valley Girl" (I so totally had to use those bitchin' scare quotes!)?

Why do his first 60-70 commenters primarily discuss which one of them commented first and how they could've commented first, except they were distracted? (Seriously, what the hell is that about?)

I like you, Ann... you're like Glenn... I read your stuff and feel like I'm listening to someone I don't agree with all the time, but you're reasonable and reasonably polite... then I read this other stuff and wonder who picked on this kid when he was little...
